A decision was made yesterday, Thursday (April 24), by U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges in an Ocala, Fla., that Wesley Snipes will be serving three years in jail on charges of tax evasion. It’s about damn time someone threw him in the slammer.

Snipes said to the judge, with his wife looking on, “I’m very sorry for my mistakes and errors. I apologize to my family, the court and the community. I’ve asked the court to show me mercy and the opportunity to make things right.”
